What time does the first Clasico of 2018/19 La Liga season kick off?

The first Clasico of the 2018/19 La Liga season will be played on Sunday, October 28, with Barcelona hosting Real Madrid in one of football’s most iconic clashes.

La Liga has confirmed the game will kick off at 16:15 CET (19:15 UAE) as LFP president Javier Tebas confirmed to Jose Ramon de la Morena on Onda Cero radio show El Transistor.

In the week beforehand both teams have Champions League games – with Los Blancos hosting Czech side Viktoria Plzen on Tuesday and Barca welcoming Inter Milan to the Camp Nou the following evening – so Sunday was the obvious choice of day to play.
